Cellar or drinkRed wineAustraliaScrew topNew release

Cool-climate Pinot with serious pedigree 🍒🌿

The 2023 By Farr ‘Farrside’ Pinot Noir is a benchmark expression of Geelong terroir—crafted by one of Australia’s most respected Pinot producers. And the accolades keep rolling in: By Farr was just named Winery of the Year 2025 by The Real Review, cementing its place as a leader in Australian wine.

Grown on a cool, exposed vineyard with black volcanic soil over limestone, ‘Farrside’ delivers depth, structure, and that unmistakable By Farr finesse. Dark cherry, red plum, and forest floor meet savoury spice and fine tannins—but it’s the velvety, plush texture that really sets this wine apart.

Elegant, expressive, and built to age, this is a Pinot for those who love richness wrapped in restraint—from a producer that’s helped shape the modern Australian Pinot landscape.

What the experts say about this wine

The evolution of this site and wine is complexing, gone are the days of words being used like bold, brash and muscular. Now two decades of releasing the wine, the description is fine, vibrate and ethereal. This wine has a retained nose for the moment, but the mouthfeel is almost jubilant in comparison. Even against the Sangreal, this feels plush and luxurious. A soft creamy and varietal ripeness, all swirling around to deliver lots of pleasure. It’s texturally generous and provides a nice counterpoint to the tight, edgy flavours of spice and pepper that is Farrside.
